Period like cramps at 29 weeks

Share

Heya, I am 29 weeks with my 4th, i have been experiancing period like cramps and my discharge changed from being quite thick and gloopy to being watery, the change in discharge happened about 2 weeks ago and the pains started not long after but they do come and go, i know they are not braxton hicks, and with my previous 3 pregnancies i gave birth at 36 weeks, my MW did say she thinks they got my dates wrong at my scan and thati might be further gone by 4 weeks, i am quite scared now.
Do you think i should contact my DR/MW and let them know whats happening?
sorry for the long rant.

im 28 weeks with my second child. My first came about a month early with no signs of labor at all. My water just broke one day. So with this baby ive been having period like cramping for a few days now but today for the past hour and a half they have been pretty regular. Is this normal? Like i said before i really dont know what it feels like before labor since i had no signs with my first

I am also cramping at 29 weeks. I have a Drs apt in the morning so I will be asking about it. I do think you should call your Dr if you are at all worried. I did however hear that after 28 weeks it is normal to have light cramping due to the rapid growth and stretching of the baby because they grow the most from 28 weeks to 40 weeks. If you have any bleeding or unusual changes I would worry and get checked. Better safe thsn sorry. Good Luck
